Quotables

So many to catch up on! I love my kids.

While coloring.
Me: Malachi, you could try to color like Josiah is.
Josiah: I'm just doing art! Stop being so proud of me.

After seeing 2 kids doing karate in a book:
Josiah: Mom, I need to go to ninja school like them.

While chatting with Uncle Eric, he asked Josiah what he had learned lately on BrainPop (an educational app that Josiah is known for memorizing facts, just like said Uncle): 
Josiah: After a clause, you need to put a comma.
Once our laughter subsided, we asked for an example.
Josiah: Like after a name.
Um, wow. Go, kid!

After disobeying once again, I asked what the boys' punishment should be. 
Josiah (head hanging low): 40 years in the desert.

Malachi (after inspecting my newly-painted nails): I want to paint my nails!
Me: It's really only for girls.
Malachi: Ok, when I'm 100 years old I want to paint my nails!
Well, I guess if you make it that long, do what you want, buddy!

Malachi: I asked Jesus into my heart, but he didn't listen to me!
Me: Yes, He heard you. If you asked him, He will come.
Malachi: Yeah, but I can't hear him!

Josiah successfully read my Facebook status. Then he asked what my hashtag said. I told him. 
Josiah: Why did you use a phone number sign with it?
Things you don't explain when your child is learning to read...
